Abstract
Background: Brief context of the study.
Objective: The main purpose of the study.
Methods: For original and methodological articles.
Results: The main findings of the study.
Conclusion: Brief conclusion and potential implications.
Keywords: 6 to 8 keywords must be provided.
1. INTRODUCTION
MS text.doc”, “Cilli MS Figure 1” etc.
The Introduction section should include the background
and aim of the study in a way that is accessible to researchers
without specialist knowledge in that area.
It is imperative that before submission, authors should
carefully proofread the files for special characters,
mathematical symbols, Greek letters, equations, tables,
references and images, to ensure that they appear in proper
format.
1.1. Section Headings
Section headings should be numbered sequentially, left
aligned and have the first letter capitalized, starting with the
introduction. Sub-section headings however should be in
lower-case and italicized with their initials capitalized. They
should be numbered as 1.1, 1.2, etc. A page break may be
inserted to keep a heading along with its text.
1.2. General Guidelines for the Preparation of your Text
Please provide soft copies of all the materials (main text
in MS Word or Tex/LaTeX), figures/illustrations in TIFF,
PDF or JPEG, and chemical structures drawn in ChemDraw
(CDX)/ISISDraw (TGF) as separate files, while a PDF
version of the entire manuscript must also be included,
embedded with all the figures/illustrations/tables/chemical
structures etc. It is advisable that the document files related
to a manuscript submission should always have the name of
the corresponding author as part of the file name, i.e., “Cilli
*Address correspondence to this author at the Department, Faculty,
University, P.O. Box: 0000-000, City, Country; Tel/Fax: ++0-000-0000000, +0-000-000-0000; E-mail: Institutional email.

References, figures, tables, chemical structures etc.
should be referred to in the text at the appropriate place
where they have been first discussed. Figure legends/
captions should also be provided.
1.3. Figures/Illustrations
All authors must strictly follow the guidelines below for
preparing illustrations for publication. If the figures are
found to be sub-standard, then the manuscripts will be
rejected/ and the authors offered the option of figure
improvement professionally by Eureka Science. The costs
for such improvement will be charged to the authors.
Illustrations should be provided as separate files,
embedded in the text file, and must be numbered
consecutively in the order of their appearance. Each figure
should include only a single illustration which should be
cropped to minimize the amount of space occupied by the
illustration.
If a figure is in separate parts, all parts of the figure must
be provided in a single composite illustration file.

Photographs should be provided with a scale bar if
appropriate, as well as high-resolution component files.
1.3.1. Scaling/Resolution
Principal Author Last Name et al.
c)
Files with too low a resolution.
d) Graphics that are disproportionately large for the
content.
Line Art image type is normally an image based on lines
and text. It does not contain tonal or shaded areas. The
preferred file format should be TIFF or EPS, with the color
mode being Monochrome 1-bit or RGB, in a resolution of
900-1200 dpi.
1.3.3. Image Conversion Tools
Halftone image type is a continuous tone photograph
containing no text. It should have the preferred file format
TIFF, with color mode being RGB or Grayscale, in a
resolution of 300 dpi.
General tools for image conversion include Graphic
Converter on the Macintosh, Paint Shop Pro, for Windows,
and ImageMagick, available on Macintosh, Windows and
UNIX platforms.
Combination image type is an image containing halftone,
text or line art elements. It should have the preferred file
format TIFF, with color mode being RGB or Grayscale, in a
resolution of 500-900 dpi.
There are a number of software packages available, many
of them freeware or shareware, capable of converting to and
from different graphics formats, including PNG.

Illustrator
Bitmap images (e.g. screenshots) should not be converted
to EPS as they result in a much larger file size than the
equivalent JPEG, TIFF, PNG or BMP, and poor quality. EPS
should only be used for images produced by vector-drawing
applications such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw. Most
vector-drawing applications can be saved in, or exported as,
EPS format. If the images were originally prepared in an
Office application, such as Word or PowerPoint, original
Office files should be directly uploaded to the site, instead of
being converted to JPEG or another format of low quality.

EPS (preferred format for diagrams)
1.3.4. Color Figures/Illustrations

PDF (also especially suitable for diagrams)

PNG (preferred format for photos or images)
Color figures publication in the journal: The cost for each
individual page of color figures is US$ 950.

Microsoft Word (version 5 and above; figures must
be a single page)

PowerPoint (figures must be a single page)

TIFF

Chemical structures MUST be prepared in ChemDraw/
CDX and provided as a separate file.
JPEG (conversion should be done using the original
file)
1.4. Tables

BMP

CDX (ChemDraw)

TGF (ISISDraw)
1.3.2. Formats
Illustrations may be submitted in the following file
formats:
Bentham Science does not process figures submitted in
GIF format.
For TIFF or EPS figures with considerably large file size
restricting the file size in online submissions is advisable.
Authors may therefore convert to JPEG format before
submission as this result in significantly reduced file size and
upload time, while retaining acceptable quality. JPEG is a
‘lossy’ format, however. In order to maintain acceptable
image quality, it is recommended that JPEG files are saved
at High or Maximum quality.
Zipit or Stuffit tools should not be used to compress files
prior to submission as the resulting compression through
these tools is always negligible.
Please refrain from supplying:
a)
Graphics embedded in word processor (spreadsheet,
presentation) document.
b) Optimized files optimized for screen use (like GIF,
BMP, PICT, WPG) because of the low resolution.
Color figures should be supplied in CMYK not RGB
colors.
1.3.5. Chemical Structures
Tables should be embedded in the text exactly according
to their appropriate placement in the submitted manuscript.
Table number in bold font i.e. Table 1, should follow a title.
The title should be in small case with the first letter in caps.
Data Tables should be submitted in Microsoft Word table
format.
1.5. Construction of References
All references should be numbered sequentially [in
square brackets] in the text and listed in the same numerical
order in the reference section. The reference numbers must
be finalized and the bibliography must be fully formatted
before submission.
Sample references are provided at the end of this template
in the reference section. Correct reference format and list
must be provided in the manuscript.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
This section should provide details of the methods used
along with information on any previous efforts with
corresponding references as well as a clear description of all
comparisons and the type of analysis used, to enable
replication.
Short Running Title of the Article
2.1. Standard Protocol on Approvals, Registrations,
Patient Consents and Animal Protection
All clinical investigations must be conducted according
to the Declaration of Helsinki. Authors must comply with the
guidelines of the international committee of medical journal
editors (www.icmje.org) with regard to the patient's consent
for research or participation in a study.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Results and Discussion may be presented individually or
combined in a single section (for shorter articles), ideally
with short and informative headings.
4. CONCLUSION
This should state clearly the main conclusions of the
manuscript and give a clear explanation of their importance and
relevance.
LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS
If abbreviations are used in the text either they should be
defined in the text where first used, or a list of abbreviations
can be provided.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Financial contributions and any potential conflict of
interest must be clearly acknowledged under the heading
